Prior Permission Required (PPR)

Air traffic regulation (permanent)

In order to efficiently coordinate all types of flight operations at Geneva airport (Scheduled, Charter, General Aviation and Light Aircraft), a Prior Permission is Required (PPR) as a compulsory measure for flights not regulated by Slot Coordination Switzerland.

Genève Aéroporthas made available two internet based PPR Tools that allow you to see the available capacity (projected capacity).

For non-commercial flights, reservations can be made 4 weeks in advance.

One remaining slot per hour available for commercial flights at D-1 and for non-commercial flights the same day.

A PPR for light aircraft is not a guarantee that the flight will operate in the requested time frame due to delays caused by local traffic congestion and complexities.

For helicopters, a helipad is guaranteed with your PPR for light aircraft reservation.

If the grass runway is closed when filing your flight plan, pilots that have obtained a PPR for light aircraft wishing to use the grass runway need to reserve a PPR General Aviation (PPR for the concrete runway).

Information about the operational status of the grass runway (open/closed/restrained) can be obtained by calling ATIS at +4122 417 40 81.
